[A rapid, multiplexed new technology xMAP liquid chip for detection and identification of pathogens]

Abstract

xMAP liquid chip is a new. biochip technology developed by the Luminex corporation in recent years. This chip technology based on microsphere is capable of simultaneously detecting up to 100 different analytes in a single reaction vessel. In comparition with the solid chip or membrane chip, it possesses the features of multi-analytes, high sensitivity (0.01 pg), good reproducibility (CV < 5%), wide channel (0.2 - 32000 pg/ml), and so on. For these advantages, the xMAP liquid chip technology has been used in many fields, especially in the analysis and identification of nucleic acid, protein or other biological molecules.
